The 2022 Winter Festival comes to a close with the string trio BLUE…RED…GREEN by Carman Moore, a brief gem by Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson, and the 3rd Sonata for Violin and Piano by George Enescu.

WWCMF continues with its intention to honor composers of color, and in our small way, make up for lost time during which our industry showed this beautiful repertoire neglect. Carman Moore is a prolific composer, conductor, and educator, having served on the faculties of Carnegie-Mellon and Yale Universities. His works have been performed by major orchestras the world over. BLUE…RED…GREEN was composed in 2007.

The festival concludes with the reprise performance of the Enescu Sonata No. 3 for violin and piano. The work will reveal even more of its many mysteries in this second hearing.
